Global Gender Gap Report I: Inequality = Equality

The Global Gender Gap Report is a publication of the World Economic Forum which is based in Geneva. However neutral its title, the Report’s authors have no intention of impartially informing us about relative gender disparities around the world. As Canadian journalist Barbara Kay has said in another context, “when [they] say ‘gender’ they mean ‘women’s interests.’ Just so.

Indeed, read the Global Gender Gap Report from cover to cover and, apart from being terminally bored, one would never guess that men or boys suffer unequal treatment or outcomes anywhere on earth. And that’s because, in the Report, anti-male inequality is simply defined out of existence.
